Generative AI might be well on its way to rendering more jobs obsolete. While speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang indicated that we might potentially be looking at the death of coding as a career (via Tom's Hardware).

The CEO attributed these sentiments to the rapid advances and adoption of AI. Huang added that learning code shouldn't be considered a priority for anyone looking to get into tech moving forward.

Huang might be on to something. Over the past few months, multiple users have achieved incredible feats using ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, from developing software in under 7 minutes to generating free Windows keys.

NVIDIA's lead further indicated that users interested in coding should consider channeling this energy and dedicating it to other sectors, including farming, biology, manufacturing, and education. Coding isn't entirely dead in the water either; this is because some skills will still be required to determine when and where to use AI programming.

Huang added that upskilling might be the way around this imminent change in the tech landscape. Upskilling will future-proof professionals by equipping them with the knowledge on how to go about AI programming.

They have AI programs creating and improving their own codes

ASI is just around the corner

So, these are the jobs robots will require humans to perform?

Actually quite a relief. I hate computers and software.

Learning to code for the sake of learning to code should've never been anyone's priority. Instead you should've learn to code to leverage the power of computers to solve real world problems.

You know what's going to be a valuable skill for a long while, leveraging computers to solve real world problems. Significantly more code will be written in the next 5 years than has been written in human history.

The ability to understand how computers operate and the code they run on will only increase in value, the way they interface with the computer is irrelevant imo.

I can't wait until the AI bubble evaporates. GIGO (Garbage in, Garbage out.)

LLMs are dependent upon their inputs. And most of it is shite.

This is nothing more than a poor sales pitch for AI which has proven to be really, really bad. AI is a threat to no one in the foreseeable future.

Im a cloud architect and coding scripts is just a small part of my job. AI still isnt as good as a human at coding.

ChatGPT and Copilot really suck at Microsoft Graph and other Microsoft powershell modules.

Both constantly make up fake cmdlets that don't exist. I only use AI to help me with logic sometimes but overall it still sucks at coding and I dont trust it yet.

I am pretty fricking sick of these nerds constantly toiling away on their calculators and excel spreadsheets. They can't leave shite alone. Robot dogs. Robot intelligence. Robot drones. Robot crops. Fake meat. Instant replay in baseball. frick off, nerds.

It's really hard for me to keep reading these things and not think we are looking at our doom. All it takes is one idiot coder not putting controls in place, literally anywhere in the world.
